Suzuki Traction Control System (STSC)
Ride-by-Wire Electronic Throttle System
Bi-directional Quick Shift System
Suzuki Easy Start System
Low RPM Assist

ENGINE

Creating the naked street fighter for a new era began with designing a brand-new engine. Suzuki’s engineers sought to design a slim, compact powerplant that would expand the possibilities for overall design flexibility and help realize the most effective chassis geometry for performance gains, including the optimum riding position.

CHASSIS

In engineering a brand-new model from the ground up, the goal was to design a compact, lightweight chassis engineered to maximize agility, comfort, utility, and reassuring riding pleasure. Every aspect was focused on achieving great handling and control whether riding solo or carrying a passenger.

The development of the chassis layout began with devising the core structure of the new frame and swing arm. The resulting frame is strong and highly rigid. The swingarm, designed exclusively for the GSX-8S, was optimized to perform ideally on the street. Other layout considerations covered everything from achieving the right riding position to the selection of the wheels, tyres, and suspension settings. And it extended to striking a harmonious relationship between the chassis, the new engine, and the advanced controls of the Suzuki Intelligent Ride System (S.I.R.S.).

STYLING

An Icon for a New Era of Functional Beauty

In developing the styling for the new GSX-8S, Suzuki’s design team set a goal based on the three keywords, “New Era”, “Visual Structure”, and “Icon”. “New Era” reflects the goal of creating a thoroughly modern design that sets a trend for an exciting new generation of motorcycles ready to carry the brand into the future. The 2022 model GSX-S1000 established the beginnings of a new design language featuring sharp lines and an edgy futuristic look. Now the all-new GSX-8S is ready to lead from the front and own the street.

INSTRUMENTS & LIGHTING

The GSX-8S’s custom 5-inch full-color TFT LCD multi-function instrument panel features a clearly legible display , richly populated with information. Not only does it keep the rider fully aware of all the bike’s systems and settings, it also supplies critical real-time operating status information. The look is one of high quality that helps instill pride of ownership.

LED indicators flanking the display include the left turn signal indicator, MIL (Malfunction Indication Light), neutral indicator, master warning indicator, high-beam indicator, right turn signal indicator, TC (Traction Control) indicator, low oil pressure warning indicator, ABS indicator, low voltage warning indicator, and coolant temperature warning indicator. All are designed for easy recognition.

The screen features a custom display with exclusive graphics, including blue background lines that add extra style and convey the appeal and spirit of the Suzuki brand identity. It also offers manual or automatic switching settings for the day (white) and night (black) display modes that improve visibility at any hour and in any riding situation.
